muggsyspaniel's review against another edition
1.0
I was going through a phase of reading mystery books and purchased this for my good lady in an attempt to bring her into the fold. She's a huge Burns and Allen fan and I figured this would be a nice way to lure her unwittingly into the world of old fashioned mystery books.
I may well have put her off for life instead. If anyone can point out a detective fiction hero more irritating than Philo Vance I'd be truly surprised.
The only mystery is how this thing ended up in the shops in the first place.
